Our Mother of Perpetual Help

Prayers and Devotions to Mary

Our Mission

May you feel the grace and protection of Our Mother of Perpetual Help…

The Redemptorists are a Catholic congregation of priest and brothers, devoted to Our Mother of Perpetual Help, who preach the gospel to the poor and most abandoned in a wounded world. They spread the gospel from the slums of Abuja to the rural hamlets of the Mississippi Delta. In all they do they are inspired by a deep devotion to Our Mother of Perpetual Help. In that spirit, the Redemptorists created this website. It is our profound prayer that all who visit here will also feel the joy of Our Mother’s constant presence and protection in their lives. Please also join in the Church’s evangelical mission by telling a friend about Our Mother of Perpetual Help. God bless you!

Redemptorists: Guardians of the Icon

Since 1866, the Redemptorists have spread devotion to Mary under the icon and title of Mother of Perpetual Help. In that year the Redemptorists asked Pope Pius IX for permission to move the icon to their new church, Church of Sant’Alfonso in Rome, which was built on the location of the icon’s earlier home. The pope granted his permission, and told the Redemptorists to “make her known throughout the world.”
